The present invention relates to novel quinolonecarboxylic acid derivative and to method of preparation and use thereof.

Since the development of norfloxacin, a wide variety of new quinolone synthetic antibacterials have been newly synthesized and developed. They include, for example, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, lomefloxacin, fleroxacin, tosufloxacin, etc.

Upon this background, the inventors searched for a novel quinolonecarboxylic acid derivative having a potent antibacterial activity. They found that such activity exists in a class of novel quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives which were obtained by a reaction between (i) a quinolonecarboxylic acid derivative having a piperazinyl or pyrrolidinyl group at position 7 of the quinolone ring and (ii) a position 4-substituted benzenesulfonyl halide. The present invention was made on the basis of this finding.

The invention, therefore, provides compounds of the formula I: ##STR3## wherein R1 is hydrogen, halogen or lower alkoxy, R2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, --NH2, --NHCOCH3 or halogen,

R3 is lower alkyl, and

Z is a group represented by the formula II or III: ##STR4## wherein R4 and R5, identical or different, are hydrogen or lower alkyl, or

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The compounds of the formula I exhibit antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

The invention also provides a method of preparation of such a derivative or salt and, additionally, antibacterial pharmaceutical compositions containing such a derivative or salt, (which derivatives and salts are hereinafter referred to as "the present compounds").

In another method aspect, the invention relates to the use of the compound for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment of diseases caused by bacterial infection of mammals, including humans.

The invention still further provides a method of treatment of diseases caused by bacterial infection of mammals including human comprising orally, parenterally or locally administering to said mammals a pharmacologically effective amount of the present compound.

FIG. 1 shows the IR spectrum of the compound obtained in Example 2.

FIG. 2 shows the IR spectrum of the compound obtained in Example 7.

In the present application, the term "halogen" for R, and R2 in formula I, IV or V means chlorine, fluorine, bromine or iodine.

Preferable "lower alkyl" for R2, R3, R4 and R5 in formulas I to V is an alkyl group made up of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, either of straight or branched chain or cyclic. Examples of such lower alkyl include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, 1-ethylpropyl, isopentyl, etc.

Preferable "lower alkoxy" for R1 and R2 in the formula I, IV or V is an alkoxy group made up of 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Examples of such lower alkoxy include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, isobutoxy, tert-butoxy, n-pentyloxy, neopentyloxy, 2-methylbutoxy, 1,2-dimethylpropoxy, 1-ethylpropoxy, etc.

For the purpose of the present invention, the compound of formula I can be used either in a free form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Examples of such a salt include alkali metal salts such as sodium salt and potassium salt, and organic amine salts such as ethanolamine salt. However, other salts can also be used if pharmaceutically acceptable.

The compound of formula I can be synthesized as follows:

A compound of formula IV: ##STR5## wherein R1, R3 and Z are as defined hereinbefore, is allowed to react, in the presence of a base, with a position 4-substituted benzenesulfonyl halide of the formula V: ##STR6## wherein R2 is as defined hereinbefore, and X is halogen, to give the compound of the formula I. The desired reaction product can then be recovered from the reaction mixture.

The compound of formula IV can be obtained according to, for example, Japanese laid-open patent application No. 47658/1980, Japanese patent publication No. 56151/1987, Japanese laid-open patent applications Nos. 74667/1983, 10574/1986 and 33453/1980, the content of which publications is herein incorporated by reference.

The base aforementioned, which is used as a deacidification agent, preferably is an organic amine such as pyridine or triethylamine. Such a base can be used either alone or as a mixture with a nonpolar solvent such as benzene or tetrahydrofuran (THF). Any solvent can be used provided it does not hinder the above reaction. Preferable temperature for the reaction is approximately 0°C to room temperature.

The reaction will be completed in approximately 3 to 5 hours. Then, after evaporating off any excess base or solvent, the residue is dissolved in a solution of alkali metal hydroxide, e.g. sodium hydroxide. The solution is then neutralized with an acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid, whereupon crystals of the desired product. A compound in which R2 is --NH2 in formula I can be obtained by hydrolysis of a compound in which R2 is NHCOCH3. For example, the former compound can be obtained in the form of crystals by refluxing the resulting solution of the latter compound in 2N hydrochloric acid at boiling temperature for approximately 1 to 2 hours, and neutralizing the solution with an alkaline compound such as sodium hydroxide.

The purification of the compound obtained as above may be carried out, depending upon the nature of the compound, by precipitation method or by recrystallization from a suitable solvent, e.g. dimethylformamide (DMF)-ethanol. When needed, the compound obtained above may be converted into a salt form by a conventional method, for example by; dissolving the compound in a solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g. sodium or potassium hydroxide, concentrating the solution, and then precipitating the corresponding salt by addition of an alcohol.

The present compound thus obtained is unknown in the prior art (not described in any prior publications). It is useful as an antibacterial against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria, and, therefore it can be used (i.e., for example, orally, parenterally or locally administered) to treat diseases caused by bacterial infection, either gram positive or gram negative, of mammals including human.

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, according to purpose and need in individual cases, may contain one or more of the present compounds.

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be a oral, parenteral or topical antibacterial composition. The composition may be prepared in any form by conventional methods, including a solid form such as tablets, granules, powder and capsules, and a liquid form such as injectable solution and eye drops. In preparing such compositions, any conventional additives can be incorporated, such as excipients, binders, thickeners, suspension aids, dispersing agents, reabsorption promoters, buffering agents, surfactants, dissolution aids, preservatives, emulsifiers, isotonizers, stabilizers and pH adjusting agents.

The preferable dose of administration of the compounds of this invention as an antibacterial is, for example, approximately 1 to about 100 mg×once/adult/day for injectable solution and approximately 10 to about 1000 mg×several times/adult/day for oral preparation, although the dose varies depending upon the particular compound used, the body weight or age of the patient, and the type or severity of the disease. In the case of eye drops, it is preferable to administer several times/adult/day those containing about 0.05 to 0.5 w/v % of the present compound.

It is possible that the present pharmaceutical composition may contain other antibacterial components or components with a different type of pharmacological activity.

The following examples are presented as further disclosure and illustration of the present invention and are not intended as a limitation thereof.

Antibacterial test was carried out according to the method designated by Japan Society of Chemotherapy in Chemotherapy, 29 (1): 76 (1981), the content of which is herein incorporated by reference. Each of the compounds obtained in Examples 2, 4 and 7 is tested. As a control drug, 1-ethyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinolinecarbox ylic acid was used, which is represented by formula IV when R1 is hydrogen, R3 is ethyl, R4 and R5 are hydrogen, and Z is piperazinyl.

The results are shown in Table 1 in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
